According to Decatur
police, Terry James Light, 27, was involved in a fight with his girlfriend around
1:45 a.m. Sunday in his Brookline Avenue apartment when Andrew Renew placed
Light "in a headlock" so he couldn't harm the woman. Renew was visiting at the

grabbed a candlestick holder from a coffee table and hit Renew on the back of
the head, cutting him. Renew was also cut on the left forearm when the
candlestick holder shattered. He was treated at Decatur Morgan Parkway Campus.

Light was arrested and
charged with domestic violence. On Monday, he was charged with assault and
